emjay BS: What do you like about Kerry? (68* d) RE: BS: What do you like about Kerry? 20 May 04


Kerry can not be all things to all people, nor does he pretend that he is. Bush tells us one thing while he does another to convince us that he is everyman's best friend. Bush took this country into a war telling us it was all about terrorism, then ignored the country from which the terrorists came to attack someone against whom he had a personal vendetta. He lied knowingly about conditions in Iraq to convince Americans that we needed to go after Saddam Hussein. Why hasn't he been impeached for that?
Kerry has had the courage to change his mind as he learns more, as conditions change, or as times change. Bush can't remember ever making a mistake.
We all owe it to our country to learn more, to vote on real information, not bits we have heard in 15 to 30 econd commercials repeated ad infinitum. For a democracy to succeed its citizens must be informed, they must take the time to educate themselves, an ongoing process.
The Bush power brokers stole the last election in myriad ways, all calculated to give the election to Dubya. That is a statement, it is not whining. Use that term correctly. Whining refers to the tone in which a complaint is uttered, not the complaint itself. You will frequently hear our president whine when he speaks, he does it almost any time he isn't smirking.
What do I like about Kerry? His intelligence. His willingness to listen to reason and to learn. His ability to recognize other needs, other points of view, and changing situations. His ability to learn from experience, his own and others.
